Real will be confronted with Getafe tonight at 19:30 UTC. Just like in Madrid with the Ancelottis, the son of the Getafe boss acts as his right hand on the couch.
Getafe -head coach José Bordalás and Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti share a narrow personal friendship. They occasionally dine together and even visit each other's training site. Both have spoken about this relationship in several interviews.
Moreover, it is worth noting that with both Getafe and Real Madrid, Bordalás' Slogan “Esto es Fútbol, Papá” (literally: “This is football, dad”), assumes a real meaning in specific contexts – because both Ancelotti and Bordalás have brought their sons into their respective coaching craft.
The son of Carlo Ancelotti, Davide Ancelotti, has focused on the coaching under the guidance of his father and can ultimately pursue his own management career.
In the meantime, the son of José Bordalás, Roberto Bordalás, has only just started his assistant coaching career. This is just his second season that works with his father, and he still has enough room to get better.
